All Your Heroes Are Frauds, Just Like You

The title comes from a song called “Clarity” by Andy Mineo. I’ve had it on repeat since it dropped, and while that’s not even close to the best, most thought provoking line in the song, it’s something that’s been on my mind. All my heroes are frauds, just like me. I haven’t beenContinue reading “All Your Heroes Are Frauds, Just Like You”

365 Days of Lament

I’ve been trying to figure out how to say all of the things I needed to in the right way. I’ve written this post a million times and I hope this time it makes sense. It’s funny, this wasn’t supposed to be a 2017 recap and yet here we are. Bear with me forContinue reading “365 Days of Lament”

5 Things I Learned In Therapy

At the beginning of September, I started going to therapy. It was something that I knew I needed for a long time. (Like…I’ve known for years.) When I finally started going to university this semester, I made the long, scary trek to the edges of the fourth floor, where my school’s counselling centerContinue reading “5 Things I Learned In Therapy”

I Don’t Look Like A Christian Anymore

From Your White Friend

I see your skin. I cannot deny that. I see the color of your skin. That it is different than mine. I can hear the way you speak, that it is not the same as me. I see the way you get side eyed while I remain unseen. I know that someContinue reading “From Your White Friend”

I Don’t Believe In The End Of The World Anymore

Christians, I am writing this to you. See, my whole life Christians have been pointing to a sign that the world is going to end. Most of them come from having seen or read Left Behind too many times. Every couple months there’s a new one. We’re obsessed with pointing them out too.Continue reading “I Don’t Believe In The End Of The World Anymore”

5 Books That Shaped My Faith

It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I know. I’m sorry. I’m still figuring stuff out. My life is a bit of a mess at the moment. So much is going on and I’ve been trying to stay on top of it all as well as take care of myself. I don’t have the wordsContinue reading “5 Books That Shaped My Faith”

I’m A Feminist (And Here’s Why)

A year or so ago I started calling myself a feminist ironically. It was a joke, I swear. My sister started it because there were so many times I would go on long rants out of the blue about, well, about feminist issues. I would say “I’m not a feminist, but…” andContinue reading “I’m A Feminist (And Here’s Why)”
